lighthouse construction industry charity
The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity is the only charity that provides
emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and
their families. We receive no public funding and rely on the generosity of those
within in the industry to help us continue our vital work. We have been
delivering charitable support to the Construction Community since 1956. Founded
by a group of gentlemen who had been attending a Ministry of Public Buildings
and Works Exhibition on Tyneside, when they found themselves on the seafront at
Whitley Bay. Under the light of St Mary’s Lighthouse, they vowed to extend the
goodwill they enjoyed at the show by starting something to unite and benefit the
entire industry. From that day forward, the Lighthouse Club was formed to offer
aid and assistance to ill or injured construction workers.
